BT, or Brian Transeau*, is an Electronic Music artist/producer/DJ/wizard from America. He made his major breakthrough in the UK, effectively giving life to what is known as Trance (hence one of his many nicknames as ‘Father of Trance’).

I’m not going to wax all lyrical about him, because I’ve done that before. Trust me when I say, this guy is brilliant.

I like electronic music because sounds are created that are otherworldly. I love that nothing in this world can produce the sorts of sounds that are made by artists such as BT and their plethora of interesting technology. Songs that are composed entirely on a computer have the ability to send a shiver up and back down my spine, which I think is amazing.

As I’m currently discovering, one of the best ways of really getting in touch with the brilliance of an artist like BT is to listen to the instrumental versions of tracks. The treatment that he gives to the vocals is always interesting, but with them stripped away, you start to pick out nuances of tracks that you’d never even noticed before.

Thanks to a site called MusicFreedom, you can do exactly that. If you like BT or are remotely interested, click here to access those instrumentals, plus a whole load more. You can even buy downloads of the tracks if you like them.
